I have two stories - one very good and one not so good.
A 67 year old team mate, who races track, had a knew replacement a couple of years ago. He was back to riding in a few weeks and set a new World record in the flying 200 meter last year in Masters Track Natz that he held for two minutes until another guy beat him by .1 seconds. This year he was best all around rider at Masters Track Natz in Frisco, Tx and was 6th in the 500 meters at track worlds. His knee does not seem to bother him.
A younger guy in his fifties and a trainer at our gym had his done and it did not turn out well. I was talking with him last night and he had to have it redone.
I have yet to talk with someone that has had a bad doc per se. It appears the outcome depends a lot on the individual but having a doc with a great track record of success is mandatory.
Good luck and hope your knee feels better.
